Two multivariable problems of general interest are factor analysis and regression. This paper examines partial least squares (PLS) as a tool for both problems. For single output data sets, the familiar PLS algorithm is applicable to both problems. For multiple output problems the familiar PLS algorithm 1, 2, 3] (called fact-PLS in this paper) is appropriate for factor analysis. However fact-PLS...

An approach for creating structured Open Sound Control (OSC) messages by separating the addressing of node values and node properties is suggested. This includes a method for querying values and properties. As a result, it is possible to address complex nodes as classes inside of more complex tree structures using an OSC namespace. This is particularly useful for creating flexible communication...

Off-site construction (OSC) is an innovative method. However, OSC not widely applied in residential buildings due to many barriers. Therefore, this paper aims unravel puzzle and interpret the slow development of OSC. The develops a new analytical lens based on ecosystem concept. By deconstructing some concepts, conceptualizes China’s building industry (RBI-ECO) proposes three hypotheses. result...

When students are dealing with online tutorial, there are challengers they must answer using any skill they have. The challenge and skill must be at the same ‘height’ in order for them to immerse with online tutorial activities. Several aspects will be considered as challenge and skill. One challenge under the scrutiny is the page length used to present course materials. The length of tutorial ...

Supervisory Controllers are Discrete Event Dynamic Systems (DEDSs) forming the discrete core of a Hybrid Control System. We address the problem of automatic synthesis of Optimal Finite State Supervisory Controllers (OSCs). We show that Boolean First Order Logic (BFOL) and Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are an eeective meth-odological and practical framework for Optimal Finite State Supervisory...

A compact set K is self-conformal if it is a finite union of its images by conformal contractions. It is well known that if the conformal contractions satisfy the “open set condition” (OSC), then K has positive sdimensional Hausdorff measure, where s is the solution of Bowen’s pressure equation. We prove that the OSC, the strong OSC, and positivity of the s-dimensional Hausdorff measure are equ...

| Matrix decomposition algorithms employing fast Fourier transforms were developed recently by the authors to solve the systems of linear algebraic equations that arise when piecewise Hermite bicubic orthogonal spline collocation (OSC) is applied to certain separable elliptic boundary value problems on a rectangle. In this paper, these algorithms are interpreted as Fourier methods in analogy wi...

We present a method for discovering and exploiting object specific deep learning features and use face detection as a case study. Motivated by the observation that certain convolutional channels of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) exhibit object specific responses, we seek to discover and exploit the convolutional channels of a CNN in which neurons are activated by the presence of specific ...

The use of a voltammetric electronic tongue for the quantitative analysis of quality parameters in spring water is proposed here. The electronic voltammetric tongue consisted of a set of four noble electrodes (iridium, rhodium, platinum, and gold) housed inside a stainless steel cylinder. These noble metals have a high durability and are not demanding for maintenance, features required for the ...

The electronic properties of solution-processable small-molecule organic semiconductors (OSCs) have rapidly improved in recent years, rendering them highly promising for various low-cost large-area electronic applications. However, practical applications of organic electronics require patterned and precisely registered OSC films within the transistor channel region with uniform electrical prope...
